A Curse of Ash and Iron by Christine Norris

on October 9, 2019October 10, 2019 Leave a Comment on A Curse of Ash and Iron by Christine Norris

For a long time, A Curse of Ash and Iron have been on the list of the books I was waiting to be published. I noticed it while it was announced as a Strange Chemistry release. Then the Strange Chemistry got shut down. 🙁 I was happy to hear Christine Norris and Curiosity Quills Press …

Pale Moon Walking by Paula Altenburg

on October 7, 2019October 10, 2019 Leave a Comment on Pale Moon Walking by Paula Altenburg

Historical western novels never attracted me, because I don’t like that era (too dirty and rough for my taste). But lately I’ve given some paranormal novels set in this period a try and I actually quite enjoyed them. So when I saw that Pale Moon Walking is western historical with aliens I was intrigued to …

Seveneves by Neal Stephenson

on September 25, 2019September 25, 2019 Leave a Comment on Seveneves by Neal Stephenson

Its been a while since a book left me with so many mixed feelings as Seveneves did. What Did I Like? Builds on existing technology. Science fiction novels that use the current state of our world as a starting point (or existing science concepts) and then build on it are my favorite kind. For example, …

The Beast’s Heart by Leife Shallcross

on September 20, 2019September 25, 2019 Leave a Comment on The Beast’s Heart by Leife Shallcross

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairy tales, so I have a weak spot for its retellings. When I saw that The Beast’s Heart was from Beast’s point of view, it was a must-read for me. What Did I Like? French names and setting, as a nod to the place of an …

The Martian by Andy Weir

You have already heard about The Martian, I can bet my Kindle on it. It won Goodreads Choice Award in 2014 for science fiction (and many others probably). Plus, there is a movie The Martian with yummy Matt Damon in the leading role. When the book gets a lot of hype I am always reluctant …

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

The Silent Patient caught my attention because it was number one on Goodread’s list of most popular books published in 2019. Then the summary got me intrigued. Why would a woman refuse to speak after murdering her husband? What Did I Like? The ‘old’ plot made ‘new’. A woman killed her husband. Whether the reasons …

A Coming of Age by Timothy Zahn

on May 8, 2019September 19, 2019 Leave a Comment on A Coming of Age by Timothy Zahn

This was my first encounter with Timothy Zahn. Since A Coming of Age does not have high rating on Goodreads (only 3.6) and it was written in 1984 I started reading this book with caution. There are so many older novels that simply got run over by new styles or trends. But do not be …
